Infertility and Isolation

Infertility and Isolation: Why It Feels So Lonely and What You Can Do About It

For many people, the journey through infertility brings an overwhelming sense of isolation. But what does that actually mean? Is feeling isolated inherently negative, or can it serve a purpose? Do we really need to come out of isolation—and if so, how do we do that without subjecting ourselves to the flood of unhelpful advice, insensitive comments, or emotional overwhelm from others who just don't get it?

In this episode, Jesse and Doug dive deep into the emotional landscape of infertility and the loneliness that often accompanies it. They unpack what it feels like to be disconnected from your community, your friends, and even yourself—and why those feelings are so common during this difficult season.

They offer two clear, practical steps to move out of isolation in a healthy, grounded way—without losing your boundaries or your peace of mind.

If infertility has ever made you feel like you're the only one going through it, this episode was made for you.

Discover how connection and healing are possible, even in the most isolating experiences.
